All of us in here at ZTL have been traveling after the holidays.  Pumpkin just returned from a Caribbean cruise and wanted another Dirty Shirley.  Normally we wouldn't be sipping such a drink in our tiki bar, but we let her have what she wants just this one time.  1.5 oz Vodka, .75 oz grenadine (we used real homemade pomegranate syrup) and 4-5 oz lemon lime soda are a nice combination when and only when combined correctly in the right amounts.  Sunshine kept to his palate and enjoyed a Hemingway Daiquiri.  You can click for the recipe and the story behind the classic cocktail.
